Abstract

Background: Sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have gained immense attention for a variety of indications. Limb amputations (LA) and fractures were reported in clinical trials. This network meta-analysis and meta-regression were carried out to quantify the risks of these events.

Research design and methods: Randomized clinical trials evaluating SGLT2is and reporting patients developing LA/fracture were included. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were the effect estimates. Sub-group analyses and meta-regression analysis were carried out.

Results: Ninety articles were included (LA: 36 studies; 96522 participants and fracture: 66 studies; 102,862 participants). An increased risk of LA (OR: 1.2; 95% CI: 1.1, 1.3) was observed. Amongst SGLT2is, canagliflozin was associated with increased risk of LA (OR: 1.6, 95% CI: 1.1, 2.4) while dapagliflozin with fracture (OR: 1.1, 95% CI: 1, 1.2). Sub-group analysis revealed increased risk of LA with an OR of 1.3 among those in the age group of > 40 to < 65, body-mass index of > 30 kg/m², HbA1c category of > 7%, duration of diabetes of > 10 years, type 2 diabetes, and an OR of 1.2 for SGLT2is administration of > 6 months.

Conclusions: SGLT2is were observed with an increased risk of LA. High- risk categories were identified for which precautions should be recommended in the standard treatment guidelines.

使用钠葡萄糖共转运体-2 抑制剂导致截肢和骨折的风险：网络 Meta 分析和 Meta 回归。

背景：钠葡萄糖共转运体-2抑制剂（SGLT2is）因其多种适应症而备受关注。临床试验中报告了截肢（LA）和骨折。这项网络荟萃分析和荟萃回归旨在量化这些事件的风险：研究设计：纳入了评估 SGLT2is 并报告患者发生 LA/骨折的随机临床试验。效应估计值为具有 95% 置信区间 (95% CI) 的比值比 (OR)。进行了亚组分析和元回归分析：共纳入 90 篇文章（LA：36 项研究；96522 名参与者；骨折：66 项研究；102862 名参与者）。观察到 LA 风险增加（OR：1.2；95% CI：1.1，1.3）。在 SGLT2 类药物中，canagliflozin 与 LA 风险增加有关（OR：1.6，95% CI：1.1，2.4），而 dapagliflozin 与骨折有关（OR：1.1，95% CI：1，1.2）。亚组分析显示，年龄大于 40 至 30 kg/m2、HbA1c 值大于 7%、糖尿病病程大于 10 年的 2 型糖尿病患者发生 LA 的风险增加，OR 值为 1.3；服用 SGLT2is 超过 6 个月的患者发生 LA 的风险增加，OR 值为 1.2：结论：SGLT2is 会增加 LA 的风险。结论：观察到 SGLT2is 会增加 LA 的风险，并确定了高风险类别，应在标准治疗指南中建议采取预防措施：协议注册：开放科学框架 (https://osf.io/5fwyk)。
